Sorry guys, I definitively subscribed to this thread, so I was sure to receive a message on replies. Somehow this does not happen. Luckily Magik told me on Jabber...

Anyways, I took some time off as I was really busy at work and did not check the VCMI release. You're right, 0.82 has been released, but keep in mind this does not fix the resolution thing. The chief developer promised to "give it a try" after 0.82 was released. So I guess it's now time to remind him...

In the meantime I'll port the latest and greatest SVN and see how it works... If I have no trouble setting up my VM expect some more news within today.

EDIT: Well, not really big news, so I'm going to edit. I could set up a fresh SDK (which took ages as I have a low bandwidth connection, not like the one at work). I could build the latest VCMI SVN successfully. This is a good thing as I had troubles with my previous tries.

I'm now waiting for a reply from the chief developer regarding the resolution and 16bpp requests. Let's hope I'll get it soon...
